- Add the egg yolks one by one to the whites, continuing to whisk until a light, airy cream is formed.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the boiling milk in the pot.
- Lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook gently.
- Once the base is firm and cooked through, use a slotted spoon to cut the curdled mixture into chunks.
- Carefully turn the pieces to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
- Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl.
- Let it cool completely and refrigerate before serving.
